<p>Jane Eyre’s image changing in China in the 20<sup>th</sup> century is the portraiture of the changing of social features and ideology in China. In the era of ideology playing an important role people explain and understand Jane Eyre according to ideology. No matter what she had modern female consciousness or the pursuit of equality or holding Christ and Confuciansim and whatever kind of a woman she was, everything was Jane Eyre’s expression of a specific feature in the paper.</p>

InImperialism at Home, Susan Meyer explores Charlotte Brontë's metaphorical use of race and empire in Jane Eyre. In particular, she is struck by Brontë's repeated allusions to bondage and slavery and wonders, “Why would Brontë write a novel permeated with the imagery of slavery, and suggesting the possibility of a slave uprising, in 1846, after the emancipation of the British slaves had already taken place?” (71). Meyer speculates, “Perhaps the eight years since emancipation provided enough historical distance for Brontë to make a serious and public, although implicit, critique of British slavery and British imperialism in the West Indies” (71). Perhaps. More likely, I would argue, is the possibility that Brontë was thinking not of West Indian slavery, but of American slavery.
